Only way to find out is weigh it. Find a gravel pit in your area that's where I weigh mine.
Goto the truck stop at the Richwood exit. You can weigh your car there.
And u would think shaving a few lbs frm a stock fox will make more difference than on a 500 hp fox! Racing is priority in this car
Rip off all the GT crap.
And next time ya race take the damn hatch off. That's a good 100lbs right there and it just provides better air flow.
I would always take off the hatch when I raced.
What kind of things can skew this rule? You mean the obvious things like engine removal wheel removal?A rough rule of thumb with regards to weight and it's impact on ET is: for every 100 lbs lost expect a reduction of approximately .1 sec in 1/4 mile times. There are obviously many other things that can skew this rule. Another rule that is often overlooked is: for every pound of rotating weight lost, it is equivalent to 10lbs of static weight lost.
Dont have power to take advantage? The k20 makes about the SAME POWER and put it in a 90s and older civic and it will smoke the mustang because of the weight advantage. Power level has nothing to do with the ability to take advantage of weight reduction. Simply put lose weight, and if you can hook you go faster regardless of power. How else do you explain a 200 hp engine alone to put a civic in the 13sWell, obviously, the current combination has to be very efficient. If the car is not running in peak form for any number of reasons, removing 100 lbs may not have much if any impact on ET. Also the base ET that you are starting with can determine if any gain can be had. I seriously doubt that a econobox running 18 sec in the 1/4 is going to see .1 for every 100 lbs lost. You just don't have the power to take advantage of the weight loss.
